Footwear manufacturer Evolv Sports added legendary climber Steph Davis to their climbing team.
Steph Davis is a professional rock climber, alpinist, big-wall climber, BASE jumper and wingsuit pilot currently based out of Moab, Utah. She is the author of High Infatuation and blogs at highinfatuation.com. She is currently writing another book about wingsuit flight and free soloing called “Learning to Fly,” to be published by Touchstone/Simon and Schuster. Davis has been pushing the limits of climbing for 20 years in many disciplines. Known for her free ascents of El Capitan, climbing some of the hardest cracks in Moab and free soloing long, committing routes, Davis is a climbing pioneer and icon.
“Evolv is at the pinnacle of the climbing shoe game right now and their shoes are fantastic,” says Steph Davis. “What inspires me most is evolution, and that’s what this company is all about.”
Jay Peery, Evolv’s Director of Sales says, “Steph is an incredible athlete, inspiration and the top end of the climbing community. We are psyched to have her as an addition to our family and look forward to collaborating on some significant new product offerings in coming seasons.”
